Conditions for practical cooperation beyond formal alliance
Gwangju Metropolitan City, Jeollanam -do, and Jeollabuk -do declared the ‘Honam Economic Alliance’ and declared local innovation centered on artificial intelligence (AI), but in point of fact, competition is more pronounced than cooperation.
Specifically, the word ‘joint attracting’ itself could also be empty within the situation where the three regions each promote their very own strategies over the national AI computing center value 2 trillion won.
Experts advise that this shouldn’t be only a ‘showing agreement’ but in addition a more strategic and specific approach to maneuver into practical cooperation.
Real cooperation for ‘one urban area’
To ensure that the Honam region to implement a real mega -city, or ‘functional integrated city’ across the AI ​​industry, it’s persuasive that the three regions mustn’t competitively highlight the resources and strengths of their very own.
Above all, the realistic strategy of ‘joint use’ is required somewhat than the fantasy of ‘joint attracting’.
For instance, the physical location of the AI ​​computing center might be collaborated with the remainder of the region by linking the remaining regions or sharing research and academic infrastructure.
It is because the cloud -based distributed processing system can exceed the boundaries of actual physical base.
It’s also essential to clear agreement on role sharing.
If Gwangju already has AI integrated complexes, Jeonnam needs to determine its own specialized areas and establish an industrial structure in accordance with the event of eco -friendly AI industrial complexes based on renewable energy, and the event of agricultural life -based data -based AI solutions.
The transparent governance system can be essential. As an alternative of participating in a separate public offering on each unit, it’s obligatory to create an integrated promotion or regular council for practical cooperation, sharing information and plans, and institutionalizing disagreement.
It shouldn’t be only a declaration, but a mechanism of practical cooperation that results in policy linkage and budget allocation.
Crucial thing is the restoration of trust. Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Jeonbuk have made many declarations up to now, but have repeated individual actions in attracting various national projects.
For true cooperation, there’s a growing voice that the inner trust ought to be built by preparing a particular joint implementation plan and designing fair sharing and advantages.
It’s time for the urgent crisis of local extinction, and it’s time to determine an actual foundation to maneuver into the ‘Union City Spectator that shares functions and visions’, not only an economic alliance.
AI is a very important key for that potential, but as you do now, you’ll be able to’t open the door with the strategy of ‘individually’.
